About me

Dear Sir or Madam,

Re: Vacancy for a Web Designer

I was very interested to see your vacancy for a Front End Web Developer as advertised on indeed. I attach my CV for your consideration. This role is of particular interest to me, as it provides the potential to develop my existing skills and learn new technologies in a broader, more exciting work environment.

I have experience in designing promotional digital artwork including emails, banners and slides. The Responsive Design approach is now a central focus of all my new web development projects and fluid grids, along with CSS3 Media Queries in my work. On the more functional side of things, I have extensive Joomla! development experience including designing and coding highly customised forms using a Joomla! application builder, PHP and SQL scripts. These forms were the front end for an online booking system which can be configured for many different kinds of booking models, including recruitment.

Considering my development skills, I have gained extensive HTML-CSS hand coding

experience through the continuous modification of templates and themes across multiple

platforms. I also have experience in monitoring user journeys through E-Commerce websites using Google Analytics Funnels and Goals, amongst others. Regarding graphics and image processing, I have experience in creating promotional artwork from scratch using Illustrator and Photoshop.

Current projects include using Edge Animate as a rapid development tool for an animated GUI WordPress Plugin. I integrated this Plugin as part of a BOOTSTRAP WordPress Theme. The BOOTSTRAP output files were organised and reconstructed to work as a WordPress Theme. Other experience I have gained in my work include setting up and monitoring a large-scale Google Adwords Campaign, some basic Socila Media Marketing work and SEO analysis. I also use FTP on a regular basis and have setup many domains and web hosting for various clients.

By nature, I am a perfectionist; this manifests itself in all aspects of my web design, whether graphical, functional or grammatical. My primary aim is to always achieve the most exciting and engaging user experience within the website cost and time parameters; to try and exceed, where possible, the expectations of my clients.

Nurturing a passion for new technologies, I am frequently researching emerging development tools, platforms, plug-ins, packages and scripts in any spare time. I am always looking for faster, more efficient and more effective ways of designing and developing websites and web components.

I have a strong portfolio of work available for review at interview stage. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you to discuss the role further.

Yours sincerely,

Glynn Martindale
